We do a lot of room-to-room snack passes and utilize the National “weird” holidays such as Mother Goose Day today where we give out activity packets with nursery rhymes, and National Devil Dog Day was Monday so we handed out devil dogs.

When we aren’t playing movies, church services, entertainment, etc playing on our cc tv, we have a slideshow that includes the weekly calendars, pictures from past events, and information about what independent activities we can provide.

If you scroll on this list you'll see "Live Broadcast" and it has videos on how to set up the channel

We are doing individual games for staff and residents to participate in with prizes. We will have Elvis visiting the building, some social carts, music, virtual tours and more.

We are trying to follow the “Sharing our Wisdom” theme. We are going around with a chalkboard and having residents write their words of wisdom. we are going to take pictures and put them on a slideshow to broadcast on our cctv

Kristina Lapoint (Riverside Rest Home)

48:08

We are postponing our large celebrations until we can gather as a group again (and will make it BIG!) but during that week we will do theme days, a BBQ for staff on each shift and then we got an idea from a webinar since the theme is "Share your Wisdom" we will have a "Pearls of Wisdom" chain at the nurse's station with words of wisdom from each resident

Amy R. Thornton

48:17

anybody have any ideas for helping other staff get involved?

Mwrighting

52:29

keeping them apart

Staci Huckins

Staci Huckins

We (Pheasantwood Center in Peterborough) have the same issues as Keene Center with the dining room closed and people are supposed to stay in their rooms but they keep gathering together anyways.

we use the lists of strange weird holidays to make some fun for the staff - food, dress down, notes of appreciation,

dianeb

59:51

You are all amazing. Thanks for all you do!!

Stacie Hubble

We are offering coffee twice a day for the staff as well as ice cream each Friday!

Lisa Henderson

Support of staff- dietary makes food such as pizza's to go for families; families donate raffle items as we had many family members ask what they can do for staff appreciation; sharing all of the positive messages from the families and thank yous with the staff so it goes right to the front lines inc dietary and housekeepers

Stacie Hubble

01:01:47

Thank you all for all these great ideas! Have to run and start our unit to unit social! Hang in there and stay healthy!

Staci Huckins

We did a spirit month contest - 2 days a week we had spirit days (dress in sports attire, dress in 80’s attire, twins day, etc). Each staff member got a point for each day they participated and the one with the most points at the end won a gift card.

Lisa Henderson
